- On Demand: An AI operating system for creating AI agents and automation workflows.
Stitch: Google's Undisclosed UI Design Tool
The video highlights Stitch, a new UI design tool from Google that was launched without significant announcement during the Google IO event. The speaker emphasizes that Stitch is free, seemingly unlimited, and capable of generating entire UI designs based on user prompts.
Functionality and Features
- UI Generation: Stitch can generate multiple pages of design based on a single prompt.
- Example: Generating a mobile app design for a calendar with event adding and viewing capabilities.
- Chat Interface: Users can interact with Stitch in a conversational manner, similar to V0ero and Bolt, to refine the designs.
- Export Options: Designs can be exported as HTML/Tailwind code or to Figma for further editing.
- Theme Customization: Users can control theme settings such as light/dark mode, color, corner radius, and font.
Modes of Operation
Stitch offers two modes:
- Standard: Uses Gemini 2.5 Flash, prioritizing speed.
- Experimental: Uses Gemini 2.5 Pro, allowing users to provide an image for design inspiration.
Step-by-Step Usage (Standard Mode)
- Navigate to the Stitch interface.
- Select the "Standard" mode.
- Enter a prompt describing the desired UI (e.g., "a good-looking mobile app for a calendar").
- Select the design resolution (mobile or web).
- Stitch generates the initial design.
- Review the design in the modal view.
- Export the design to Figma or copy the HTML/Tailwind code.
- Provide follow-up prompts to generate additional pages or refine the design.
- Customize the theme using the available options (light/dark, color, corner radius, font).
- Export the customized design to Figma or copy the updated code.
Step-by-Step Usage (Experimental Mode)
- Navigate to the Stitch interface.
- Select the "Experimental" mode.
- Optionally, upload an image for design inspiration.
- Enter a prompt describing the desired UI (e.g., "a simple portfolio page").
- Stitch generates the design.
- Review the design.
- Export the design to HTML/Tailwind code (Figma export is not available in experimental mode).
Advantages and Use Cases
- Rapid Prototyping: Stitch facilitates quick generation of UI designs for prototyping.
- Vibe Coding: It enables developers to quickly generate designs and implement them in their applications.
- Theme Consistency: Stitch maintains a consistent theme across multiple pages.
- React Integration: The Tailwind CSS output is easily adaptable for React projects.
Limitations
- Experimental Mode Figma Export: The experimental mode does not support exporting designs to Figma.
On Demand: AI Operating System
The video includes a brief advertisement for On Demand, an AI operating system.
Key Features
- AI Agent Creation: Allows users to create AI agents for various tasks, such as social media posting or automated trading.
- Agent Flow Builder: Enables users to assemble agents, model endpoints, fulfillment prompts, and chat prompts into cohesive workflows.
- Scheduling: Workflows can be scheduled to execute at custom intervals (e.g., every minute, hourly, daily).
- Voice Mode: Supports the creation of voice agents.
- Output Delivery: Can deliver outputs via email, Slack, or actionable agents.
Promotional Offer
- On Demand is offering free $50 credits for new users to try the platform.
Conclusion
Stitch is presented as a powerful and surprisingly under-promoted tool for UI design generation. Its ease of use, free availability, and Figma/HTML export capabilities make it a valuable asset for designers and developers alike. The video encourages viewers to explore Stitch and experiment with its features. The speaker also briefly mentions Gemini 2.5 Flash upgrade but it's not significant.
